Thanks guys, that actually confirms I was looking for the wrong George...I've now finally found him in 1911, so a later death is what I'm looking for. He was living in Lincoln still, but I can't find any other death on FreeBMD. George was actually born in 1831 but as his wife was a few years older he always seemed to say he was a couple years older, that's what made me think it was the 1908 death. Clearly not, though because there was a George living in Normanby in 1901.
Thanks,
Alexander
